it is a valid path, and that you have sufficient access.

If you are using the windows XP backup program, a quick search of this
or any other XP newsgroup would have listed probably a few hundred
posts telling you that it does not support direct backup to CDR.

You could use a CDRW and format it with Roxio DirectCD, that will
work, but only if your backup is less than one CD's worth. It doesn't
support splitting/spanning. So to backup your whole drive to CD, you
will need a 3rd party backup/imaging program that will write directly
to a CD and supports splitting/spanning - eg Norton Ghost.
